8 Reasons You Need to Pay Attention to BIGBANG Right Now
1. Their new single "Loser" is excellent.
BIGBANG has returned, and this new track blends bad-boy hip hop with emotional boy-band melodies that only this talented quintet knows how to pull off. The guys detail feeling like a "loser, loner, a coward" after forgetting the importance of love and finding unhappiness with one-night stands. It's reminiscent of BIGBANG's 2012 single "Bad Boy," a cut off Alive, the first Korean album to ever chart on the Billboard 200.
2. "Loser" is slaying iTunes.
At press time, "Loser" is No. 40 on U.S. iTunes Top Songs chart which is the highest position ever for a Korean song, barring PSY's crossover success singles. Currently, the track's charting higher than major hits like Taylor Swift's "Blank Space," Sia's "Elastic Heart" and Nicki Minaj's "Truffle Butter," making us wonder if BIGBANG could land themselves on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
